ZDoom

Oh! That was easy. Thanks.

Furthermore, MAPINFO based editor numbers were done before ZDoom was discontinued.

-COUNTKILL

actor NJTestZombieman : Zombieman 1234
{
	-COUNTKILL
}

actor NJTestZombieman : Zombieman replaces Zombieman
{
	-COUNTKILL
}

You can add the
[code]-COUNTKILL[/code]
line to the decorate of the monster concerned as TheMightyHeracross said (put it towards the end of the section where the other flags are) or, if you only want some of them not to count, you can inherit from the original one and only change the flag. e.g. this creates a zombieman that does not count towards the kill total and can be placed using edit number 1234*. So, only the ones specifically placed using a map editor and using number 1234 would not count, the standard zombieman would be unchanged.

[code]actor NJTestZombieman : Zombieman 1234
{
-COUNTKILL
}[/code]

*In current GZDoom it's best to define editor numbers in MAPINFO but given that you are using ZDoom, that won't be an option.

The same actor can be used to auto-replace all zombiemen like this:

[code]actor NJTestZombieman : Zombieman replaces Zombieman
{
-COUNTKILL
}[/code]

Depends exactly what you want to do really.

Thanks! I’m using ZDoom so no ZScript. How can it be done with decorate? Does the monster need to be created completely using decorate?

Thanks.

-COUNTKILL

You don't use ACS for that, you use DECORATE or ZScript in the actor's definition. Simply unset the [url=https://zdoom.org/wiki/Actor_flags#COUNTKILL]COUNTKILL flag[/url], like so:

[code]-COUNTKILL[/code]

Hi all,

I'd like one of custom monsters to not count towards kills (because it's a machine). Think lost souls in the original DOOM2. Is there a way to do this with ACS?

Thanks.
